Movie Reviews of Johnny Mathis Live - Wonderful, Wonderful - A Gold 50th Anniversary Celebration
Movie Review: Johnny Mathis 50th Celebration
Summary: 5 Stars
I've loved and admired this man since I first heard him sing my favorite song in the whole world, "Misty." Where does one start when trying to describe Johnny Mathis? To use an old cliche` he is a legend in his time and he is one of my role models. Johnny did have an excellent voice teacher when he first started out but he also takes care of himself too. Sure he can't hit the high notes like he did when he was younger but that isn't the most important thing. This man literally loves to sing and you can hear it in the way he delivers a song. Or, if you're lucky enough to see him in person, it's very noticeable in his stage presence, expression on his face and you can hear it in his voice, he loves to sing. Johnny is one of the very few singers today who sings the romantic songs and the ballads the way they should be sung. I've seen Johnny in concert three times and am going to have the pleasure of seeing him once again in December, 2009. I hope Johnny is able to sing for many more years to come and it will be a sad day in entertainment when he retires.

Summary of Johnny Mathis Live - Wonderful, Wonderful - A Gold 50th Anniversary Celebration
Studio: Sony Music Release Date: 02/27/2007Back in the mid-'50s, Johnny Mathis had a choice: a star in track and field, he could try out for the U.S. Olympic team. or else he could travel from his home in San Francisco to New York, where he'd been invited to record a few tunes for Columbia Records. Zillions (OK, hundreds of millions) of sales and half a century later, it's pretty obvious that Mathis, whose extraordinary career is celebrated on Johnny Mathis Live - Wonderful, Wonderful - A Gold 50th Anniversary Celebration, made the right move. The singer was 71 when he took the stage for this 2006 concert in Atlantic City; and while age has undoubtedly taken a toll (he looks a bit like the version of himself in the Las Vegas branch of Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum--well-preserved, but kinda weird), his voice has lost little of its strength and almost none of its pure beauty. Backed by a large orchestra, Mathis moves easily through a set spanning his entire repertoire: Broadway and film numbers (a medley from Kismet, some Henry Mancini movie tunes), Brazilian sounds (the medley of "Manha de Carnaval" and "Brazil," on which he's accompanied by an excellent nylon-stringed guitarist, is one of the show's best moments), more recent material (Barry Gibb's "In the Morning," Albert Hammond's "99 Miles from L.A."), and, of course, the romantic ballads that still make lovers swoon, including what Mathis calls "the Holy Trinity" of "It's Not for Me to Say," "Chances Are," and "Misty." Mathis makes music that soothes rather than challenges; it may be easy listening, but it's far too classy and professional to be written off as schlock. There's a reason this guy has been around for so long: he's good. The DVD includes interview segments with Mathis, clips from old TV appearances, and a substantial set of bonus performances from the same concert. --Sam Graham
